As predicted the New Year has brought with it the news that prices on tyre exports are going to rise. Yokohama Rubber is one of the main and first companies to confirm this, with sources from within the tyre industry estimating that Yokohama’s increase is going to be in the region of 15% and above, possibly even higher in specific regions of the world.

A new year is here, but the bad weather is still the same and with weather experts telling us that the worst is still to come, driving on the roads is as bad as ever. Seems dire doesn’t it? Well there’s more!
